In case there aren't enough fast food options at most airports, one airline has chosen to take KFC's fried chicken to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. Customers flying Japan Airlines will soon receive a standard KFC meal instead of the typical on-board eats.

According to The Huffington Post, Japan Airlines will begin serving KFC on December 1. The meal change up will last through the holidays and beyond, ending February 28. The airline is calling the special fast-food meal "Air Kentucky." It will be served on flights traveling from Tokyo's Narita Airport to eight destinations: New York, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt, and Paris.

Many airlines have tried to improve their onboard meals as of late, however most have gone with the celebrity chef-created recipe approach. Japan Airlines is going in a completely different direction by serving a popular fast food option. The specially boxed meal, complete with an image of the Colonel himself, comes with a fried drumstick, chicken breast, flat bread, and coleslaw.

While the airline partnership with KFC is bringing Colonel Sanders' food to the sky, the latest KFC news on the ground is rather peculiar. The most recent KFC menu development has to do with a new chocolate chip cookie the chain is working on. A chocolate chip cookie may sound normal, but Serious Eats reports that the fast-food company is creating a cookie that features all eleven of the Colonel's secret herbs and spices.

The sweet and savory cookie hasn't hit chain outposts just yet; KFC is asking Facebook fans to vote on whether or not they want this new spice-filled cookie to join the menu. Serious Eats got an early sample of the new dessert. While they were fans of the "crispy toffee-like edges" and "crackly crust," it was ultimately decided that the Colonel's secret herbs and spices were committing, "senseless acts of herbal violence against chocolate chips."

What do you think of the latest KFC news? Would you want KFC instead of a typical in-flight meal? What about a cookie seasoned with herbs and spices?
